Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to her Written Statement of 12 July 2017, HCWS39, on extremism, if the Government will publish information on Saudi funding for extremism in the UK.

The Government’s Written Ministerial Statement of Wednesday 12 July 2017 conveyed the main findings of the review into the funding for Islamist extremist activity in the UK. The review has improved the Government’s understanding of the nature, scale and sources of funding for Islamist extremism in the UK.

The review’s report is classified because of the volume of personal information it contains and for national security reasons. The Written Ministerial Statement is a comprehensive and representative reflection of the review’s findings. The Government has no plans to comment further on the review’s findings. The Government’s priority is making the best use of the tools available to disrupt extremist activity in the UK.
